After Holiday Exchange 2015

Post by Elizabeth »

Sign ups for the holiday exchange are starting now and will wrap up on the last day in Oct at 11:59 p.m central time.

Names will be tossed in a random generator, and from there it is up to YOU to contact the person you were assigned for the needed info.

Consideration for those in same countries will be given if asked/posted in this thread.

The min is...well....idk. I would say $15 bucks, but there is no max. Who am I to tell someone they can only spend fifteen bucks if they want to spend twenty? But the min is fifteen.

You have the months of Nov and Dec to buy/make your gifts, but I'm thinking and hoping all gifts should be delivered by the second week in Jan. Sound good?

:)

Why are you taking me through troubled waters, I asked? Because your enemies cannot swim, he replied.

Sounds good! :) Count me in as stateside only unless I get extra cash soon and then I'd go for two package exchanges. :)

I'm going to really try to make this work to be able to send the package in jan. But I will warn you that I'm trying to move by Dec, so your package might be a lot of stuff i'm cleaning out of my house that I just really want to get rid of, but don't or can't sell. >>

US only for me, please. /brokeassbitch

I personally don't care about the cost to the person putting a package together. I've never 'headed' something like this, so idk what works or what it was like last year and the year before. But if people want me to say no dollar min or cap, that's cool too. I'm kinda winging it. >>

I was talking more along the lines of the /brokeassbitch part.

I don't want anyone going out of their way to spend more than they are comfortable with.

Most years most of what I put in the box are handmade things, brand new things I got as freebies or gifts and have no use for (I got a box full of nail polish once and I never wear such things), or just silly fun things that might amuse. Most years people list things*** they like to get so I'd spend a few dollars here and there on those items or on 'souvenir' items from Oregon.

Last year word got around a few of the participants all played 'Magic: The Gathering' and I had a box full from years ago I passed on to Cassandra's player in time for them to pass along what they didn't want to a third person, lol. They also liked 'found' items so they got a lot of small rocks I had collected along route 66 as well.

The boxes we all used were always those one price style from the USPD that have no real weight limit to them. (within reason)

I forget the size tho.. >.< I'm gonna see if the old thread can be found someplace. If I do get a link for it, I'll post it here for reference.

***ETA

an example from last year (mine)

Likes: Weapons, Creepy stuff that isn't Hallmark Halloween, Things that explode, Old jewelry I can remake into new, Craft stuff, unusual Postcards, Magic Tricks, Gags, Jokes and small games and toys. I have pets so anything you send may end up played with by more than just me.
Dislikes: Makeup, girly foo foo bs. Taxes. Breakable stuff very bad. Lots of food allergies so please just ask me first or skip that.
Other Important Info: I'd rather not be matched with anyone that I have already been matched with but I'm pretty easy going and just would like to get cracking on this before the holiday horror show at the P. Off gets too bloody annoying.
